Motorpool and Walkers Military Formation in The Ophelia VII 'Dust Zone | World Anvil

Motorpool and Walkers

The Daughters of Verity make considerable use of armor, walkers, and other military vehicles. Although the Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas are commonly deployed as mechanized infantry and field a number of support vehicles, owing to their close ties to the Adeptus Mechanicus and their presence in the 'Dust Zone the Daughters of Verity field an unusual number of armor assets, including unique vehicles.   Each corpora has its own dedicated transport (either a RH1N0 APC or an Immolator IFV). In addition, a number of additional IFVs of unique design and some tanks (including a trio of Castigators) are available to the Canoness and her Palatines.   Bipedal fighting vehicles (commonly called "walkers") are more common in the Daughters of Verity than in other Orders. In addition to nine Paragorn Warsuits, the armory contains a number of Penitent Engines and Mortifiers, a Dreadnought-scale walker, and a Knight-Titan.   Finally, the Daughters deploy a number of fast-reconnaissance motorcycle riders - the Ofanim.

Composition

Manpower

In keeping with the Daughters' Corpora tactical doctrine, each professed Sister is a proficient driver and able to handle any weapons. In theory, any Sister can function as a driver or other crew member on any APC, IFV or AFV (the surgical adaptations necessary to use Paragon Warsuits and other walkers reserve those for specific Sisters). In practice, the motorpool is manned by a tight-knit crew of vehicle specialists selected shortly after profession or even during the novitiate. Reassignment of position and duties within the motorpool is not uncommon, but movement into or out of it is rare.

Vehicles

  • RH1N0 APCs
  • Immolator IFVs
  • Repressor IFVs
  • "Dominatrix" class Warminster (anti-infantry super-heavy tank based on the Baneblade chassis)
  • Trio of Castigator battle tanks (the Lannisters)
  • "Cathedra" class mobile pulpit
  • 9 "Paragon" class warsuits
  • 3 Penitent Engines
  • 3 Mortifiers
  • Dreadnought-scale walker - Ellen
  • "Crusader" class Knight-Titan - Magdalena

Structure

The majority of vehicles are APCs or IFVs assigned to a Corpora of infantry and so fall under the command of the Princeps Autem Corpus. Other armor elements fall under the direct authority of the Canoness or Palatine commanding the deployed forces. Mechanized and armor elements of the Daughters of Verity are always subordinate to an infantry command.
